Seven medical students at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, have sparked a renewed discussion regarding hijab on campus. In a letter to the principal, they propose ways to reconcile their commitment to hijab norms with their responsibilities in surgical duties. Some believe the college should accommodate the students' religious practices. However, the medical fraternity argue that the students should adhere to the existing rules and regulations of operation theatres. They opine that medical students should refrain from wearing hijab or any attire that may compromise patient safety and hygiene.
